The flight from Oslo to Beijing represents a voyage across continents, cultures, and centuries. Whether you are traveling to walk the Great Wall, negotiate trade deals in the Central Business District, or explore the ancient alleyways of the Hutongs, the journey is an adventure in itself. At Ready2Go, we specialize in bridging the gap between Scandinavia and East Asia.
Flying from Oslo (OSL) to Beijing (PEK or PKX) is a long-haul commitment that requires meticulous planning. China is a unique destination with specific entry requirements and logistical challenges. We are here to ensure that your transition from the quiet fjords of Norway to the bustling metropolis of Beijing is seamless, secure, and stress-free.
Traveling to China is not like traveling to Spain or the UK. It involves visas, internet restrictions, and a completely different digital ecosystem. Why navigate this complexity alone? Ready2Go offers the specialized expertise of a local Norwegian partner who understands the nuances of Chinese travel.
1. Navigating Visa Complexities
For Norwegian citizens, obtaining a visa for China can be the most daunting part of the trip. Rules regarding tourist visas, business invitations, and transit policies (such as the 144-hour visa-free transit) change frequently. Our experts stay up-to-date with the Chinese Embassy’s requirements. We guide you on the correct documentation to prepare before you even book your ticket, ensuring you don't face rejection.
2. Airport Expertise: PEK vs. PKX
Beijing now has two massive international airports: Beijing Capital (PEK) and the futuristic Beijing Daxing (PKX). Depending on your airline and final destination within the city, choosing the wrong airport can add hours to your commute. We help you select the arrival point that makes the most sense for your hotel location or onward connection.
3. Local Support for Global Travel
When you are behind the "Great Firewall," having a reliable contact back home is essential. If you need to change your return flight or encounter issues with your itinerary, you can reach our team in Norway directly. We provide a human safety net that automated apps simply cannot match.
Departure from Gardermoen:
Your journey begins at Oslo Airport.
Ready2Go Tip: Since this is a long-haul flight (typically 10-14 hours depending on the route and airspace restrictions), we recommend dressing for comfort. We can assist in booking premium economy or business class seats to ensure you arrive rested and ready for the time difference.
Arrival in Beijing:
Beijing Capital International Airport (PEK): The traditional main hub, located closer to the central business districts and embassies.
Beijing Daxing International Airport (PKX): The new, starfish-shaped architectural marvel located to the south. It is connected to the city by a high-speed train that reaches the center in just 20 minutes.
Transfers: We can advise on whether to take the Airport Express train or arrange a private transfer, depending on your luggage and destination.
Beijing is a city of staggering contrasts, where imperial history meets futuristic ambition.
The Imperial Past: No visit is complete without seeing the Forbidden City and the Temple of Heaven. Just north of the city lies the Great Wall of China—we can recommend the best sections to visit (like Mutianyu) to avoid the biggest crowds.
Modern Marvels: Visit the Olympic Park to see the Bird’s Nest stadium, or explore the 798 Art Zone, a decommissioned military factory turned into a trendy contemporary art hub.
Culinary Heritage: You haven't tasted Peking Duck until you've had it in Beijing. The crispy skin and pancakes are a culinary art form here.
China operates differently from the rest of the world. To ensure your trip is successful, here is critical advice from our team:
Digital Payments are Mandatory: Cash and foreign credit cards are rarely accepted in daily life. China runs on WeChat Pay and Alipay. Before you leave Norway, let us guide you on how to link your international card to the Alipay app. Without this, you will struggle to pay for a taxi or buy a bottle of water.
The Internet & VPNs: Google, Facebook, Instagram, and many news sites are blocked in China. If you need to stay connected to your life in Norway, you must install a reliable VPN (Virtual Private Network) before you board the plane.
Language Barrier: English is not widely spoken outside major hotels. We recommend downloading a translation app that works offline.
Pollution & Weather: Beijing has four distinct seasons. Winters are freezing and dry; summers are sweltering. Check the air quality index (AQI) apps regularly.
